2022 Year in Review – Las Vegas Housing Market Update

Year-End Summary We ended 2022 at the same median sales price of $425,000 that we ended with in December of 2021.  Besides entering what is usually the slowest time of year for the housing market, rising mortgage interest rates have caused a contraction of sales. At the same time, we know that the housing market is cyclical and that the bottom is not falling out.  This would be indicative of the median sale price being close to what it was at pre-pandemic levels. With prices leveling off and more homes available for sale, we’re seeing a more balanced market that makes

This architectural movement began with Frank Lloyd Wright – Architect, Designer, Writer and Educator.  Originally from the mid-west, his first studio was in Oak Park, Illinois (a Chicago suburb).  He built around 1000 structures in his career and retired to Arizona.

What I Love About Summerlin

Having moved to Las Vegas in 2002, I chose to reside in Summerlin, a master- planned community on the western slope of the Las Vegas valley.  I enjoy Summerlin very much – the amenities, restaurants, events and shopping. In my free time, I can be found playing tennis, at a Summerlin park with my rescue dog Barclay, taking in an outdoor concert, rooting for the Aviators or dining with friends in Downtown Summerlin. Having grown up in the midwest, Summerlin seemed like a brand new world.  I fondly refer to it as the biosphere because you literally have everything you
